[web] html forms

I think I may have just screwed myself... I am building a page that allows users to post user created content. It utilizes bb_code, forces users to enter a title, article (ie, textarea), has submit and preview buttons, then a column on the left to sort the article into a category (via checkboxes). Problem is, the list of categories (checkboxes) is outside the <form> </form> tags. I can't include this list inside the tags with the current layout without having the situation of <form><form></form></form>, which does not appear to work. Any way to solve this without moving the category list? Thanks.

Why exactly can you not raise the < form > tags to engulf the entire form? Those elements do need to be inside the form unless you do some fancy footwork using &#106avascript where changing those external form elements changes hidden elements inside the form tag.
